Frøydis Favorite Prunes (volume 3)

with Piano; church and classical:

I. Widmung (Dedication) – Robert Schumann
II. Abendlied – Robert Schumann

These have been some of Frøydis' favorite encore and recital pieces for many years. True classics. Some original works, some transcriptions. In Norway, the word "sviske" - which literally means "prune" - has a double meaning especially known among musicians. It also means a relatively short piece of music which is already well known, or is so easy to adapt that most people will have a sort of familiar feeling with the piece after only one hearing.
